The User Manager allows Administrators to manage Users and Roles.  

Users are the named accounts used to log in to Sitecore clients. Users may be assigned or denied specific rights so that they can access the content and functionality they need to complete their job, but cannot access the content or functionality that they do not require.  

Although Sitecore allows Administrators to set these access rights for each User, often multiple Users need a similar set of access rights based on common activities they need to perform. For example, editing the company’s contact information may require a specific set of access rights. Rather than providing the same set of access rights to each User who needs to edit the company contact information, an Administrator can create a Role and assign the access rights to the role, and then assign the role to each User. This makes it possible to add or remove the entire set of access rights to a given User with a single click.
